      "you have to vote for Harris because she'll end the genocide, except the president can't end the genocide, but if she loses then Russia will do the genocide. In fact the genocide is just a fact of life, so vote for the Democrat"

      Liberals have had their brains completely scrambled

      Yes, the US is enabling genocide, but have you considered that for some reason if we stopped enabling genocide that the malevolent Russians might enable the genocide in our place? We can't lose our sphere of genocidal influence!

        It's literally "you have to vote for harris or somebody else might be the one doing the genocude and don't you want the genocide being done by a responsible statesman?"

      Do I come off as someone who uses insults reflexively? I'm not just 'coming up with insults.' I'm really trying to express in words the exact problem I have with that person. niko-concern

        This is a problem I have. I have a friend There is a lib in my life (who at one point was very important to me) who is very much "I believe we can rationally debate these points and if you'll just listen to my reasoning instead of resorting to insults you'll understand where I'm coming from" and I'm like "I am not resorting to insults, I am insulting you. I am not engaging in a debate, I'm telling you you are being a shitty person and that I do not want to be around you because you are being a shitty person. Go have your shitty opinions somewhere else."

          Condemnation takes less energy than debate frankly; especially when you know a cracker's about to bloviate, pontificate, and otherwise perform sophist bullshit for 20 minutes while not letting you get a word in edgewise.

      I really wish I could meet these libs in person and just run incredibly obvious Nigerian prince scams on them in real life.

      "You keep saying he's trying to scam me but HE SAID that if I give him $500 he'll send me 10k tomorrow."

      Liberals routinely go on these bizarre freestyle rants where they obviously have no fucking clue what they're talking about yet they're speaking with such contemptuous unearned confidence and it just rubs me the wrong way every single time. Like please for the love of god think about the things you say for more than five minutes before you lesser evil your way into committing genocide.

      Even if you became president tomorrow

      lol fuck that

      stabbed a bunch of senators to death

      well, now I'm having second thoughts if this is something I could do as president and still remain in office…

      and forced the US to withdraw all military aid from Israel

      you mean, simply stop arming them and caping for them at the UN/ICC/ICJ? Who would I be forcing? I'm the fucking president! All I have to do is say that "we are a nation of laws" and list out the number of federal and international laws the US was breaking through our complicity, then say "no more. We will no longer aid in this atrocity." Americans don't want to be mired in foreign conflicts to begin with; I would assure them that their voices were heard loud and clear by the RustyVenture regime. Congress (those who weren't stabbed to death, I guess) would get painted into a tight corner and would have to jeopardize their fabled optics in order to check me on it since it's both illegal on its face and their constituents overwhelmingly don't want them to do it. And I'm the kind of motherfucker that would hang every single one of them out to dry if they dared to try.

      The U.S. has influence right now. Throwing that influence away would leave Israel seeking other allies, like Russia, who would have no qualms about absolutely ratfucking every living person in the Gaza strip for money and influence.

      I think there are some pretty effective ways to "influence" Isn'treal to stop that this holocaust denier is conveniently ignoring (on top of ignoring that our "influence" is presently just sending more money and bombs to nazis who keep showing and telling us what they'll do with them). This is where as president, a week after making the "nation of laws" statement, I would announce that we are commanding our forces already in the region to begin taking measures to avoid further bloodshed, withholding arms for "defense," and ultimately threatening the zionist entity with lethal force if they attempt to continue their holocaust. My UN ambassador would be providing testimony to undermine their attempts at cover-ups. I would use the entire weight of the national security apparatus and post-9/11 legal frameworks to justify things like sanctions, further embargoes, travel bans, product bans, etc. at home. I'd be sending escorts to help keep journalists and aid workers from getting murdered by the IOF abroad.

      Russia's busy right now, and China wants the opposite of whatever theremoved colony wants. Neither country is going to take a bullet for some cracker ethnostate, especially given how much it's hurting amerikkka on the world stage. I'd sooner expect them to send missiles to Hamas lol.

      This tired talking point also ignores that the zionist entity would need to swap over entire supply chains to another country/countries that absolutely do not have the same presence or enjoy the same latitude in the region that the US does. That won't happen overnight, or in any timely sort of manner. They'd also have to contend with the US actively blocking those shipments for a change! The occupation would definitely not be operating with the same indifference to their own precarious existence without the backing of their colonial master. If that doesn't force some action, so be it. Time to turn those passive measures into active ones, to say nothing of all of Isn'treal's neighbors rightfully take advantage of their vulnerabilities. And the die will be cast. I would be selling this vision to the American people in front of every microphone and camera I see. It would become unavoidable. People would support it just to get me to talk about something else. It's a win-win.
